What is the major drawback of orthopedic implants made out of carbon nanotubes? Correct Answer Triggered immune response

Carbon nanotubes have a high potential in being used as an orthopedic implant. However, there are certain challenges for their practical applicability. The coatings and composites may lead to the production of debris of nanotubes that might inturn trigger the immune response. This can result in a number of side effects that would reduce the implant efficiency. Generalized problems include lower production of CNTs, inability to control their length, diameter, chirality etc.
